Work Package 3 focuses on developing and implementing a state-of-the-art blockchain-based traceability platform that enables full transparency across the Mediterranean food chain. By combining blockchain technology, IoT sensors, QR codes and smart contracts, the system will allow food chain actors — from farmers to consumers — to track and verify the provenance, quality and sustainability of Mediterranean food products. The platform implements digital identity wallets for each food product, enabling consumers to scan a QR code and access the complete history of the food product they are consuming — from the field where it was grown to the store shelf. Every step of the Mediterranean food chain is recorded, verified and made accessible to consumers via blockchain. Each transaction recorded immutably on the blockchain — verified, transparent, tamper-proof Distributed ledger technology ensuring immutable, transparent recording of all food chain transactions and certifications. Real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity and environmental conditions throughout the supply chain for quality assurance. Each product carries a unique QR code linking consumers directly to the complete blockchain-verified provenance record. Self-executing contracts automating compliance verification, quality thresholds and food safety protocol enforcement. Each food product and supply chain actor has a unique digital identity enabling verified, auditable transaction histories. Consumer-facing engagement system incentivising sustainable food choices through interactive review and reward mechanisms. Digital certification of sustainable farming practices. Access to premium markets for certified Mediterranean products. Reduced administrative burden through automated smart contract verification. End-to-end supply chain visibility. Automated quality control. Reduced risk of fraud and contamination. Compliance verification with food safety regulations. Full transparency on product origin, ingredients and production methods. Ability to verify health claims. Informed purchasing decisions aligned with dietary preferences. Real-time data on food chain compliance. Evidence base for food safety policy. Support for Mediterranean diet promotion initiatives and sustainability monitoring.WP3 Tasks
